Pet advice from Woodgreen
From behavioural issues to dietary needs, we’ve got you covered.
Like other small pets, they should be kept safely away from other animals in the home. As prey animals, they may feel threatened by the presence of other species.
Some rabbits can really enjoy the companionship of humans and become very affectionate, other rabbits are more independent and prefer to keep to themselves with a nice routine. A family who can provide a safe environment with gentle and calm interactions can create beautiful bonds with their rabbits, helping them feel safe. Due to them being prey species and not enjoy being handled, they are often suited to families with older children.
Rabbits require lots of space to keep them fit, healthy and happy. The minimum recommended space for a pair of rabbits is an area measuring 3 x 2m, with a minimum height of 1m. This can be achieved using a predator proof run or aviary. In addition, they will need access to a sheltered area of at least 6 x 2 ft, such as a hutch, shed or Wendy house, which should be securely attached to or placed within the run. Rabbits will need to have 24-hour access to both the run and shelter.
Alternatively, if you plan to keep your rabbits indoors, they will need to have a dedicated area of 3 x 2m. While they may be allowed to have access to other areas of the house, it is important that they have a designated space where they can retreat to feel safe.
